Tan Shuanghua heard that Zhu Youdong really gave her an army, and his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Really? Tell me if you want to form the Tenth Army, and I will be the commander. Tan Shuanghua himself was a little excited.

Zhu Youdong rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said: "You think beautifully, look at how many generals have not formed the Tenth Army now, but you have to be the commander." Tan Shuanghua said: "It won't be a pro-soldier thousand households, I'm not appropriate, there is nothing to do." ”

Zhu Youdong said: "Of course you won't have nothing to do, you will be very busy." Tan Shuanghua suddenly became interested and said, "Okay, as long as there is something to do." Which army was that? ”

At this time, Zhu Youdong looked at the guard at the door and said, "Call Li Kuilong to come over." "This Li Kuilong turned out to be the general of Boryeong City, and when the Restoration Army attacked Boryeong that day, he saw the Restoration Army rushing into the city. Li Kuilong didn't dare to defend the city, so he hid directly, and finally the Fuming army cleared the remnants in the city before he was arrested from the people's homes.

This Li Kuilong belongs to the kind of person who can't express himself, as long as no one urges him, he can live in one place for a lifetime. But he himself is a capable person, and he usually doesn't talk much, as long as it is a matter of his hands, there is nothing he can't do.

After Zhu Youdong discovered Li Kuilong's ability, he always wanted to form a team similar to special forces. Originally, Jinyiwei had this nature, but Zhu Youdong didn't want to give such a big power to only one organization. Zhu Youdong's idea is to make Jinyiwei into an eye, and then form a special force to make it into a knife. Only he can command, so that there will be no more occurrences, like the history of Jinyiwei creating unjust cases.

This Li Kuilong is indeed capable, followed Zhu Youdong all the way south, and inadvertently trained out. The last person who came to help attack the Shengjing Pass was Li Kuilong's men. The first shot was very brilliant, and now Guo Liai and others don't know who is in charge of this army.

After a while, Li Kuilong came in, standing in front of Zhu Youdong and not speaking. Tan Shuanghua looked Li Kuilong up and down, but he didn't find anything special about him. Turning his head to Zhu Youdong, he said, "Why is there only one person, how many people are in this army?" ”

Zhu Youdong said: "Until now, there are only 1,000 people. Tan Shuanghua shouted, "What? Another thousand, I don't do it. I brought 7,000 men, and if you give me 1,000 now, isn't it the same as before? ”

Zhu Youdong said: "These thousand people are not simple, they are all experienced in a hundred battles, and they can be said to be omnipotent. Tan Shuanghua said in disbelief: "Is it so powerful?" ”

Zhu Youdong said: "You don't believe that you can go and have a look." Tan Shuanghua said: "I want to see how powerful your army is." Then Zhu Youdong asked Li Kuilong to take Tan Shuanghua to see it.

After the two of them left, Zhu Youdong called Lin Zhuang and said, "How is Baoning now?" Lin Zhuang said: "Everything is fine in Baoning, but the generals who stayed in Baoning have some complaints, saying that they can't fight the Qing soldiers with Hou Ye." ”

Zhu Youdong said: "I'm afraid this is not true, the generals they have seen have been promoted, and they are anxious." Lin Zhuang smiled: "Of course. Zhu Youdong said: "You send more spies in your hands to Yunnan." ”

Lin Zhuang said: "Is the Hou Ye going to contact those Ming troops scattered everywhere?" Zhu Youdong said: "Find it first, as for contacting them, wait a minute, as long as we trap the main force of the Qing army in Yunnan, they will not resist us." If I contact them now, I'm afraid I'm thinking about what title I want again. ”

Lin Zhuang said: "Okay, but I just got a news that the emperor is not doing well in Burma, and the kings of Jin and Gongchang and others need to be passed on by the Burmese, and the kings of Jin and others seem to only care about taking the emperor back, and they will not defend the Qing army in Yunnan at all." ”

Zhu Youdong closed his eyes, sighed and said, "Your Majesty, this is hurting Daming." Lin Zhuang saw that Zhu Youdong had nothing to instruct, so he withdrew directly.

Zhu Youdong couldn't help but think: "Why should I do it now?" Yongli was there again, and Li Dingguo and others didn't defend against the Qing soldiers at all, but just wanted to delay the Qing army with the help of Yunnan's Tusi, but they kept wandering on the border, trying to save Yongli, but they were pushed back by Yongli again and again. ”

Zhu Youdong couldn't help but think of the only useful information that Jinyiwei gave him, after Yongli entered Burma, Gao Wengui, Marquis of Guangchang, and Wu Zisheng, Marquis of Huairen, led a group of soldiers and horses into Burma in April. Yongli actually directly issued a holy decree to reprimand the two and let them withdraw from Myanmar directly. After Gao Wengui learned of the situation, he became ill with grief and became ill, and he died of illness. Wu Zisheng saw that Yongli was unwilling to return to China, so he was disappointed and had to lead troops to garrison Yongchang Mansion, while Li Dingguo moved to Menggen.

The entire Ming army began to fall apart, allowing the Qing army to break through one by one. On 16 May, Ma Bao surrendered to the Lancang River with Ma Weixing, General Ta Xince, Li Gui, Jiao Hongcao, He Tianyun, Cao Fu, Shan Taizheng and others, but the Lancang River was on the northwest border of Yunnan.

Zhu Youdong thought that if he went all out to attack Yunnan now, he would have to go all out to rescue Yongli, otherwise, as Zhang Huangyan, Wen Anzhi and other Wenchen would definitely not agree, and maybe there would be another internal strife. If he did not enter Yunnan, Li Dingguo and others, as well as other Ming troops, would be wiped out by the Qing army one by one.

Zhu Youdong suddenly became a little irritable, smashed his fist on the table, and said secretly in his heart: "Yongli, why don't you die." To live you are a scourge. Zhu Youdong forgot that when his reinforcements did not come during the day, how much he wanted Yongli to live.

But Zhu Youdong had the idea of dying forever in his heart, and he couldn't go away anymore, like a demon in his heart, which kept flashing in Zhu Youdong's mind.

At this time, Tan Shuanghua ran in excitedly, and didn't find out about Zhu Youdong's situation, and said, "Let me tell you, I am the commander of this army." After speaking, he found that Zhu Youdong's expression was a little wrong. touched Zhu Youdong's head with his hand and said, "What's wrong with you?" Sick? ”

Zhu Youdong looked at Tan Shuanghua with red eyes at this time, like a mad beast. Tan Shuanghua saw it, and said with some fear: "No, what do you have to do, you say it, let's solve it together, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Youdong made a beast-like sound in his mouth, and kept panting.

Tan Shuanghua was so anxious that he was about to cry and said, "Don't look like you, what's going on." Zhu Youdong seemed to hear Tan Shuanghua's voice, and gradually calmed down, then glanced at Tan Shuanghua and said, "I'm fine, you just said that you want to be the main general of this team?" ”

Tan Shuanghua was still a little scared and said: "If this army is too important, I can't do it, but the way you looked just now is so scary." Zhu Youdong listened to Tan Shuanghua's words, smiled and said: "This is not about the army, if you want to be the chief general of this army, you have to promise me a few conditions." ”

Tan Shuanghua said: "What conditions? Zhu Youdong said: "After becoming the chief general of this army, you will not have the official position of the imperial court, nor the official position of the army, that is, you will have no identity, at most you will be given the identity of a guard for thousands of households." Tan Shuanghua said curiously: "What kind of army is this?" How can there be no identity? ”

Zhu Youdong said: "That's it, if you want to, forget it." Tan Shuanghua said: "Okay, I promise, anyway, it's impossible for you to give me the status of a general." Zhu Youdong saw Tan Shuanghua agree, and then said: "Once you take over, you will only be able to obey my orders, and no military orders can be transferred." ”

Tan Shuanghua said even more strangely: "The army does not obey military orders, is this still an army?" Zhu Youdong said: "You just say whether you agree or not." Tan Shuanghua said: "Okay, good." I promise. ”

Zhu Youdong nodded and said, "As long as this army receives an order, it must be carried out unconditionally, and there can be no other opinions." In the future, you may face some unexpected goals, or even people you know. ”

Hearing Zhu Youdong say this, Tan Shuanghua seemed to understand, and said, "Do you regard this army as a brocade guard?" But you're just..., do you want to..."Tan Shuanghua wisely didn't say it.

Tan Shuanghua stared at Zhu Youdong for a long time, and when he saw that Zhu Youdong had not changed in the slightest, he sighed and said: "It seems that you really want to, but too, now except for Shunzhi in Beijing, you are the most powerful." And Shunzhi didn't pay attention to you at all. He still thinks that Emperor Yongli is his greatest enemy, but he doesn't know that you have quietly become stronger than Emperor Yongli. Because Emperor Yongli has never mastered a little military power, and your army can move forward bravely because of your words. ”

Tan Shuanghua talked for a long time, but Zhu Youdong didn't answer, just looked at Tan Shuanghua. Tan Shuanghua thought for a while and said, "I know what you think now, and I don't think it's okay to be the chief general of this army." After saying that, he sat directly on the chair next to him, as if he was thinking about this.

At this time, Zhu Youdong said to Tan Shuanghua: "Since you are the chief general, you will transfer twenty people first, and then let Li Kuilong bring them to see me." Tan Shuanghua said: "I am now the chief general of the army, and I can't know your orders?" ”

Zhu Youdong said: "It's better that you still don't know, otherwise it's very troublesome." Tan Shuanghua smiled bitterly and said, "I know all these thoughts of yours, isn't it troublesome?" Zhu Youdong looked at Tan Shuanghua and said, "Okay, wait a minute, you can come too." ”

After a while, Li Kuilong took twenty people to wait for Zhu Youdong outside the gate. After Zhu Youdong got the notice, he only took a few guards and Tan Shuanghua out of Shengjing Pass, and then a group of people walked twenty miles south and came to a simple barracks.

This is the secret base where Li Kuilong trained these people, and someone had already come up to check everyone's identities. When they arrived at the barracks inside, only Zhu Youdong, Li Kuilong and Tan Shuanghua entered, and everyone else was on guard all around.

Zhu Youdong said to Li Kuilong: "Now there is one thing for you to do, maybe you don't have to make a move, even if you make a move, you can't let people know that you did it." ”

Li Kuilong said: "Master Hou just orders, we must do it neatly." Zhu Youdong said: "Okay, with your words, I am very relieved." Seeing that our army was approaching, the Qing army commander had already asked Wu Sangui and Zhuo Luo to go to Burma with 4,000 troops. The purpose of their visit was to force Burma to hand over the emperor, and if there was a chance, they would harm the emperor. ”

When Tan Shuanghua heard this, he immediately said anxiously: "Then what are we waiting for?" Hurry up and leave for Myanmar, it's too late. Zhu Youdong said: "It is true that we must send people to Myanmar as soon as possible, but not to save the emperor." ”

Tan Shuanghua was shocked: "What? So what are we going to do? Watching them kill the emperor? Zhu Youdong suddenly said with a hideous face: "Yes, you are not going to Burma to save the emperor, if the Qing soldiers have no chance, you have to create opportunities for them, if not, you can directly help the Qing soldiers do it." ”

Listening to Zhu Youdong's words, Li Kuilong and Tan Shuanghua were stunned, Zhu Youdong sent them to kill the emperor. Zhu Youdong saw that neither of them spoke, and immediately looked at the two coldly. Li Kuilong suddenly felt a shock in his heart and said: "Don't worry, Master Hou, the lowly post will definitely complete the task, but what about these soldiers who go with me?" ”

Tan Shuanghua looked at Zhu Youdong and Li Kuilong in horror, could it be that they would kill everyone? Zhu Youdong saw Li Kuilong agree, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In this era, let a person kill the emperor, although it is a puppet emperor, it is still not possible for anyone to do it.

Seeing Li Kuilong ask what to do with the soldiers, Zhu Youdong thought for a while and said: "After completing the task, you will hide in Burma, Burma actually detained my Emperor Ming and allowed the Manchus to kill my son, this account will be recovered by Myanmar sooner or later." ”

Tan Shuanghua doesn't know Zhu Youdong at all, is this still the Pingyu Marquis who takes the restoration of the Ming Dynasty as his mission? Tan Shuanghua was actually scared, it was from the bottom of his heart.

But when Li Kuilong heard Zhu Youdong's words, he breathed a sigh of relief, if Zhu Youdong wanted to exterminate those soldiers, he Li Kuilong would not be able to escape, although he may not be able to return to Daming now, but at least he can still live.

Li Kuilong said: "The humble post will definitely complete the task of the Hou Ye, and we will set off early tomorrow morning." Zhu Youdong didn't speak, and directly pulled Tan Shuanghua out of the camp, and then returned to Shengjing Pass with the guards outside the camp.
